Prohibition In Tennessee.

The Tennessee House of Delegates, on Mon
day, passed to its third reading the resolution
prohibiting the manufacture and sale OF IN
foxicatirg liquor in the State. The vote was
Senate. 1t only remains for the General AS
sembly to fl the time and prescribe the man
ner Of the election TO be held by the people for
the ratification or rejection or the amend
ment. AS two-thirds of the members OF that
body have decided and declared IN At the con-
stitution should be so amended, the question
now goes before the people for direct express
sion OF their will In the matter.-E1change.
For two years the people OF Abberille coun-
ty have been seeking for the privilege of
vote on prohibiting the sale Of whlskey, but
SO far they have not been able to get a law au-
thorizing the vote.
Although every delegate, during the last
campaign, pledged himself in favor OF q law
authorizing that vote, only one member made
any effort at all to pass the promised law, and
that effort was made at time when 1t was
too late to pass it.
Abbeville, 1t seems to us, has been
peculiarly unfortunate. Perhaps, however,
the peoples disappointment is one OF the
nmethods" of which the Baptist Courier COM
plains. It is for the people to say whether
their Representatives have made proper ef
fort to discharge the promise which they made
during the campaign. 1t really seems TO us
that our delegation, If they had tried. could
have gotten the prohibition bill passed. Sen
ator Murray managed to get his bill through
